forces announced last night that its troops managed to shoot down a U.S.-made drone in the western region of Yemen.

According to the Houthi forces, their troops shot down a U.S-made MQ-9 drone that was seen flying over their positions in the Hodeidah Governorate.

The Houthi forces are still in control of most of the Hodeidah Governorate, despite the Saudi-led Coalition’s best efforts to force them to retreat from the area.
